Calcutta, Jan. 16 :    Calcutta, Jan. 16:  Calcutta's civic officials are furious with Gulbahar Singh's Aboidho, releasing at city theatres on Friday. Some of the scenes reportedly portray the officials in poor light. According to officials, a portion of the Rajit Kapoor-Chiranjit-Debashree Roy film, dealing with hawker eviction, was shot in the corridors of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC). In one sequence, the protagonist of the film is shown coming out of a dishonest civic officer's chamber after tendering his resignation. While he is leaving, the nameplate of municipal secretary Sajal Bhowmick appears prominently in the background. Apart from Bhowmick and other officials, mayor Subrata Mukherjee has taken serious exception to the scene. He said that under no circumstances could the scene be retained. Bhowmick himself is contemplating legal action. 'I will file a defamation suit if the scene showing my nameplate is retained,' he warned. The producer of the film, S. K. Bhura, however, is reluctant to trim the shot and argued that the scenes were shot with the mayor's permission. 'The film does not malign any individual. It depicts the character of an honest civic official - played by Chiranjit - who sympathised with the trauma of the people evicted, which leads to his resignation,' said Bhura. The film will be released in London on January 23. Borough chairman of New Alipore Arup Biswas, who attended the premiere at Gorky Sadan on Sunday, first noticed the controversial scene. He then reported the matter to the mayor. Mukherjee drew Bhowmick's attention to the fact and asked him to protest. Replying to a question, the mayor said the portion of the film relating to the drive against hawkers (read Operation Sunshine) would not affect the image of the Trinamul Congress, as the operation was undertaken by the CPM-led Left Front. Singh was not available for comment. His secretary, Chiranjit Ghosal, said: 'All the characters in the film are fictitious. We have no intention of hurting anyone's sentiments.'
